I cut the cable last week and I am looking for the best streaming service. T tried Sling and I was not really impressed, kind of a pain to navigate through and ACCN is not included. Thinking You Tube live is the better option. Any suggestions.

The only problem I have with YouTube TV is when they first came out it was no frills TV with only the basic channels I needed for like $25 a month. Now I get like 30-40 channels I never watch and they are charging me like $60 a month. I'm beginning to think cable may be less, especially if I bundle it with my internet.

A four box option that will allow you to watch four games at once on the same screen. Game over when that happens.

I second that on YouTubeTV. I tried both Youtube and Hulu(had to much buffering) and came back to YoutubeTV. I use a Firestik that works quite well with YoutubeTV.
GO TIGERS!!!!

I’ve tried them all since the only tv I watch is college football - no need to waste time with the others, you’ll end up missing a game along the way…

Another good thing about it if you’re just a sports watcher

You can pause it and no lose your set up and recordings and it’s very easy.
I drop it for the month between last football game and beginning of softball/baseball and again in the summer for 2 months.
Those 3 months makes the other services I have come out almost even for the year.

try another i'd probably do Fubo as i believe it has all the sports stations you'll need but i don't think you'll get the Turner channels (TBS, TNT, FX etc.) Another big thing to check with these services is their DVR feature. Youtube is good bc its unlimited DVR recordings but others you sometimes are charged for the DVR feature or there is a limit so you'll have to monitor that all the time whereas Youtube you don't have to worry about it. There are websites and youtube videos where people compare all these services which is how I chose. Maybe there are new ones now that are better.
I wouldn't advise the IPTV route where its like $25 bucks for every channel ever created.. those sound great but can be scams to get access to your IP address/network, etc. Unless you've got all that locked down and figured out to combat the bugs I'd avoid it. Plus technically its illegal.

I use Hulu. The interface is not as slick as youtube but it offers all of the ESPN channels. The reason i go with Hulu is the other program options as it offers original programming plus lots of movie and other series options. Since I dont watch ESPN other than games it is nice to get a little more for my money.

I cut the cord about 4 - 5 months ago and went with YouTubeTV. I like college football and YouTube had all of the networks for college football. I like their tv service. My only issue (slight) is their guide isn't quite as useful as Directv's guide was. But, I'm saving a ton of money every month over Directv so it's not that big of a deal. I just wish that I had cut the cord sooner.

think Youtube TV is great. I have had it for a few years and really like it. Easy to navigate, easy to record, just easy all around. If a channel is temporarily dropped due to failed negotiations, they give you a price reduction automatically until it is restored. Highly recommended

YoutubeTV is the overall best out there. I’ve used for several years now. You can customize your channels on the screen and group them as you see fit.

DirecTV Streaming has its own device where you can enter the

channel number directly on the remote. The channel numbers are the same as the ones on the satellite service. For example, ESPN is 206, ESPNU is 208, ESPN2 is 209, ACCN is 612. No scrolling through the channel guide, unless you want to.

YouTube TV for me

I've had it for the last 2 years and have been very pleased. I'm paying about $70.00/mth and utilizing Roku sticks on each tv. Also, you can watch YouTube TV on your laptop.

Had Hulu plus for 2-3 years and hated it. The menu system just isn't good.
Switched to Fubo, I like it.
